Skoufis is the owner and Head Instructor of the famed ‘Guelph Family Martial Arts’. Skoufis first Supergrands tournament was 2008 in California.
Skoufis says “Supergrands is a really difficult tournament as the competition level is so high with many of the best martial artists attending but it is also a very gruelling tournament that takes place over an entire week. Supergrands was my first tournament that I attended as a junior competitor that drew thousands. I won my first NBL World Title in 2009 in New York, so to have the world championships back in New York State really brings back a lot of memories for me and I can’t really believe it’s already been a decade from that first title and how much has happened since that moment in my martial arts journey. This tournament is one that all of the great martial artists have attend since it’s started, I grew up watching this tournament. This year is the 30th anniversary and I am fortunate for the opportunity to compete at this amazing event.”
The 2019 year has been a busy year for Skoufis already securing victories in Chicago, Toronto, Waterloo, Philadelphia, London, Quebec City, Miami, Ottawa, Atlanta, Augusta, Washington and Minneapolis helping Skoufis on being able to secure his #1 ranking in NASKA.
